New York City police detectives are looking for a pair of gunmen who entered a Flushing Gas Station on Sunday and brutally shot Nadeem Khan, a 39-year-old Pakistan native living in Valley Stream at about 1:39 a.m., cops said.

Surveillance video footage released by the New York Police Department showed Khan working the overnight shift at a Mobil Gas Station at 133-11 Roosevelt Avenue when two hooded male assailants entered the station before walking to the side of the cashier’s booth and riddling Khan’s chest with multiple bullets. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are looking for the two suspects who are described as black men, 20 to 25 years old, and 5-foot-9. One suspect wore a white hooded sweatshirt and the other wore a black T-shirt and black baseball cap.

Khan, who had just come to the United States about 10 months ago, had just started the job at the beginning of the year. He was sharing a home with several of his brothers in Valley Stream.

At this time, the case is still under investigation and police are asking anyone with any information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
